Sorry for our lack of updates and coverage. We have been working HARD behind the scenes to update our site to reflect our broader coverage. The new look and functionality is almost ready. Look for some new things, and more of the same music coverage you know and trust from Bhamrocks! We will be slowly releasing some of our latest podcast and photos from shows and artists we have been covering the past few months. Don't think that this silence has been anything but the calm before the storm.

PLUS ANOTHER MAJOR HEADLINING ACT TO BE ANNOUNCED IN THE COMING WEEKS

Tickets on Sale This Friday, March 27th at 10am CDT at SlossFest.com

BIRMINGHAM, AL (March 24, 2015) – Sloss Music & Arts Festival has revealed its inaugural lineup with Modest Mouse returning to Birmingham for the first time since 2007 on the heals of their new hit album Strangers to Ourselves and smash single, “Lampshades on Fire.” Also confirmed are Band of Horses, Primus, and Birmingham’s own St. Paul & The Broken Bones, who return after selling out two nights at the Alabama Theatre in November. A Major Headline Act will be announced in the coming weeks. The two-day music & arts event will feature 30+ bands on 3 stages and take place Saturday & Sunday, July 18-19, 2015, at the Historic Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, Alabama.

Cage the Elephant and Young The Giant add to the stellar talent atop the Sloss Fest lineup. Cage the Elephant is currently working on their follow-up to 2013’s Grammy-nominated Melophobia. Meanwhile, The New York Times called Young The Giant’s 2014 release Mind Over Matter “a sharp, electric album that has the cool reserve of The Cure matched with the arena mind-set of Muse (though without that group’s mechanical air).” A full list of confirmed artists from the initial lineup can be found below. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks.

All tickets are two-day weekend passes and go on sale this Friday, March 27th at 10am CDT at SlossFest.com and all Ticketmaster outlets. Three ticket options will be available: General Admission, VIP and “Iron” passes. A limited number of two-day general admission passes start at $105.00 plus fees. Ticket prices will increase as allotments run out. Payment plan options will also be available. “Iron” passes grant access to two air-conditioned tents on site. VIP tickets are the ultimate way to attend the festival and offer many exclusive amenities. Full details can be found at SlossFest.com.

Sloss Music & Arts Festival will be an experience that is uniquely Southern and distinctly Birmingham, highlighting the city’s burgeoning music, food and arts scene.

Fans will be able to join Nick Pihakis of Jim ’N Nick’s as he welcomes them into his incredible world of "Nick ‘N Friends.” Chefs from around the country including Ryan Prewitt of Peche Seafood in New Orleans, Louisiana, Rodney Scott of Scott’s Bar-B-Que in Hemingway, SC, Ryan Farr of 4505 Meats in San Francisco, CA, plus many others, will showcase their take on unique culinary dishes. “Nick ‘N Friends” will require a separate ticket for admission. Details will be announced soon!
